Senate Republicans narrowly advanced Tuesday night a slimmed-down $9 billion package of spending cuts that preserves funding for AIDS treatments in Africa, after reaching an agreement with the White House on a key concern for a group of GOP lawmakers.

The U.S. Senate is due to begin voting late on Tuesday on President Donald Trump's request to slash billions in spending on foreign aid and public broadcasting previously approved by Congress, the latest test of Trump's control over his fellow Republicans.

A rare bipartisan bill could take some sting out of the megabill’s health-care cuts and help the GOP in the midterms.
